I think the whole human race holds this attitude but society encourages us to 
be nice to eachother. People, I think, are intrinsically greedy. That is why 
piracy is so popular. Also, look at who are the anti-pirates. Two types. One 
is the software developers and the other is the people who buy it and feel 
cheated because of pirates. Bot groups are greedy. They want more, more, more. 
Not to say pirates aren't greedy either. They are just the same... The fact of 
the matter is, piracy will continue after this thread has died down and will 
continue after that. It is basic human nature to desire that which can be had 
with no work.
